Still doesn't explain why Reddas and Balthier are so similar though. Something definitely changed in the story during development. It's my hill and I will die on it

Reddas' the Lando to Balthier's Han but they didn't do anything with it.

Altough initially not very fond of the game, FFXII has become one of my favourite in the series.

The world, the atmosphere, the soundtrack are all amazing with great story and characters, but unfortunately written little poorly, but as a whole package the game is amazing.

Gambit system is very unique and innovative with hunts being the best side activity in the game.

Balthier, Basch and Ashe being "true" protagonists just deliver the story so much better. Not to forget mentioning Vayne as one of the best villains in the series, unfortunately just like other characters remains written poorly.

FFXII is a unique journey worth taking.

God bless RNG manipulation.
